Interview questions [2]
Question 1
standard Leet code medium questions like decode string.
Online interview with manager. Focused on AB testing and experimentation design and product recommendations based on scenarios. Asked 3 SQL questions on Hackerrank. Even though they were right, manager wanted in a specific way in terms of group by.

Question 1
Data goverenance and how it is different in different countires
Most of the interviewers were nice but the process took a lot longer than the recruiter's estimate. They do not stick by their own deadlines

A phone screen, hiring manager interview, SQL interview, 4 interview onsite. Each interview was 45 mins, and for the onsite they were heavy on core competencies. A/B testing was covered, and most of the interviewers in the onsite asked the exact same questions (with each having 1-2 questions that differed)
